What’s the point of being alive if you don’t at least try to do something remarkable Luis Chaluisan Salsa Magazine

These days, we have a network of 32 websites that bring me plenty of new business. We have a network of great contacts I can call on for help. I have qualifications, and more importantly the knowledge and skills I acquired through my studies. All of these things are assets that create ongoing value for my clients and for my business. The thing is, if you want to create something truly remarkable, it won’t be built in a day. A great novel, a stunning design, a game-changing application, a revolutionary company – this kind of thing takes time, thought, craft, and persistence.
Here are a few tips that make a difference:

1. Creative work first, reactive work second.
Either start the day on your creative work, or make sure you block out time for it later in the day – preferably at a time when you typically feel energized and productive.

2. Tune out distractions.You know the drill – email off, phone off, work from home if you can, stick your headphones on if you can’t.

3. Make exceptions for VIPs.Don’t be reckless. If you’re working with a client to a deadline treat them like VIPs and give them special access – e.g. leave the phone on and answer if they ring (everyone else gets the voicemail).

4. Be really efficient at reactive work.You can’t ignore everybody all the time. The better your productivity systems, the more promptly you’ll be able to respond to their requests – and the more time you’ll have free for your own work.
